Okay,
so I read this story sometime last week and I really tried to shake it, but it
still had some intriguing factors to me. The story is about a heart surgeon
down in Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, who allegedly watched pornography while he was in
surgery. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? So, you can listen to any
type of music you want to relax you during surgery, but a doctor who finds porn
relaxing to him is a "no-no"? Really? I say whatever floats your boat
and can get my heart surgery done correctly! That's if I was get heart
surgery.
It
turns out; a fired employee, 41-year-old Sandra Morris is suing Doctor Ahmet
Cercioglu, along with another supervisor, for creating a hostile and
sexually-charged work environment. Morris claims Cercioglu would call her derogatory
names and ridiculed her for being an observant Jewish woman. She also alleges
that Dr. Cercioglu was constantly on the phone, texting and talking while on
bypass as well as watching porn or sleeping. She claims no one will say
anything because he is one of the directors of cardiac surgery. She says,
"I've walked in on several occasions, as well as other staff members have,
where he was watching pornography on his phone."
One
of Dr. Cercioglu's colleagues have defended him in saying that Morris' claims
are nothing more than an act of revenge for being fired and went on to say,
"She is just bitter. He is very good guy....A family guy!" Morris
says she was fired from Mount Sinai after 5 years on the job with an excellent
evaluation record. After slipping and falling at the hospital, she was forced
to go on disability.
Coincidentally,
this lawsuit comes weeks after a Mount Sinai urologist was arrested for
allegedly filming up women's skirts with a hidden camera pen on the subway!
This hospital rules! Being totally serious, this does sound like an act of
revenge, but even if Doctor Cercioglu was watching porno in the surgery room;
who the hell cares? If he finds that relaxing to him, that's what I would want
when a surgeon was working on me. It's the texting and the phone calls that
would bother me. I think that cell phones shouldn't be allowed in the surgery
room. Get this guy an iPad and let him watch as much porn as he wants! Last I
checked this was still America, right?
